Performing Arts

The Flemish performing arts field has never been so large, so colourful and so diverse as today. “Dance from Flanders” is an established name in the international dance world, and in the Flemish context the term “musical theatre” has been attributed a very specific meaning over the last few decades.

The Flemish Institute for the Performing Arts (VTi) was founded in 1987 as the focal organisation for the professional performing arts in Flanders. VTi is a documentation centre for theatre, dance and musical theatre. A think-tank for the sector, in a varied and international Flanders. And a critical interface between theatre-makers, the public and policy-makers. www.vti.be
